KYB 234043 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut

The KYB Excel-G 234043 is a front suspension strut for select Hyundai and Mitsubishi applications. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability for drivers replacing worn OE-style suspension components.

Compatible with 1990-1994 Hyundai Excel, 1991-1995 Hyundai Scoupe, and 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Precis, this front strut is calibrated for factory-style handling and consistent tire contact.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement choice for Asian vehicles
• Restores designed control, handling, and lane-change response
• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage steering response and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Recommended with KYB strut mounts SM5060 to reduce noise and vibration
• Recommended with KYB strut boot SB116 to help protect against dirt, debris, and salt

Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior rather than a changed ride feel. The 234043 strut is assembled on KYB OE production lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to return the vehicle to its original designed performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71902 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during turns and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping

Installation Notes

Install on the front position only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed for these applications. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts. For added protection from road contamination, use a KYB strut boot.

Fits 1990-1994 Hyundai Excel, front; fits 1991-1995 Hyundai Scoupe, front; fits 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Precis, front.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components to help restore original suspension performance.
